Sorry if this has been posted, but I didn't find it. Can anyone tell me the nut size on the adjuster bolt locknut for adjusting the chain? I thought it was the same size as the other nut but this isn't the case. So far I have 12mm for the adjuster nut, and the other adjuster nut looks 1-2 sizes larger.

The dealer told me they were 12mm for both adjuster nuts and 24mm for the wheel spindle, so no help there. And the manual gives tensioning values, but not nut sizes (little odd imo). Thanks.

Rear wheel spindle nut is 27mm - at least it is on an 'R'

Does anyone actually have/use a box end torque wrench to torque the lock nut?

No bro, just snug it up but not over tighten. Definitely use a torque wrench on the axle nut though.

Locking nut is 13mm and the adjuster nut is 12mm. They do this because most people don't have more than one 12mm wrench, but we all generally have a "set" of wrenches with these common sizes. Amazing how they thought of everything.
